Not exactly. Though it could be if VIZ decides to after the RS arc is done which is in the same volume that FRLG ends.

Yeah, That plus the fact they've gotten out about 19 volumes that weren't published here before plus the reprints of the first 7 that were released first here back when Pokémon first came here in just the span of just roughly 4 1/2 years. So that's roughly 26 volumes that they have released here since they restarted back in June of 2009.

Besides, I kinda wouldn't mind if VIZ (quite possibly the Shonnen Jump division) picks up to start releasing Reburst here. Though I'm happy right now with the outpour of PokeSpecial currently from Viz.

@ Ever Changer: ah, alright.
I pre-ordered mine from Amazon, and it shipped out today. Supposedly, it will arrive either Tomorrow or Thursday. Either way, if no one else has the book in that time, I'll post some info. Though I'm pretty sure someone will get it in that time.

Chapter titles.
Nicknames for Sapphire's Wailord. Probably it'll be the same.
Censorship? God, only two more months till that volume...
See if they fix Chuang Yi's translation mistakes. (Courtney and Tabitha's names. Dock's name being Tuga. Calling the Submarine Explorer I the Kaien I.)
Mack's Viz name. Once again, it'll probably be the same.

Blaise can be considered a better name than Mack when compared to his original Japanese name (ホカゲ Hokage, "Firelight"), so that's pretty good.
I really, really hope they don't censor anything in volume 17, but as VIZ has shown in volume 11, they'll censor anything deemed necessary, even if it carries necessary emotional impact.

If the infamous butt pat can make it in, then all bets are off on what can make it in. I'm curious about parts like Ruby and Norman's...father and son time. I wish I could pick these up, but I can't at the moment. Saving for something else.

There's a huge difference between a butt pat and a father socking his son in the face.

Is there really? They have to be pretty close on the "what we can put in our books without parents questioning us" scale. And the scene with Norman is too big of a thing to just edit out if you ask me. But they took out Crystal's mom slapping her so I guess it could happen.

To right the countless wrongs of our day, we shine this light of true redemption, that this place may become as paradise. What a wonderful world such would be...
